You suggested they would strike with NBC weapons.

I think any strike is a strategic mistake. It's definately defensible from a moral standpoint, no question..

But I don't think it's necessarily beneficial.

Remember, there are still going to be allot of muslim militants left even after Saddam is wrenched from power. Israel is a tiny country with allot of internal strife.

Let them sit it out and let us do the lifting and take the heat. Saddam IS leaving, for sure.. and that's that with regard to Iraq.

They will be allot closer to having a friend next door than an enemy if they just suck it up and sit it out.

If Iraq strikes Israel with NBC Scuds, I just don't see them holding back. When 1000's of Jews (and Arabs, for that matter) are dead after such a strike, Israel will go in and personally see to it that all the missles/labs are eliminated as quickly as possible.
